      [PATCH] NOMMU: Improved handling of get_unmapped_area() errors · d7c43720
      David Howells authored
      The attached patch does two things:
      
       (1) We no longer check the return value of file->f_op->get_unmapped_area()
           unless we actually called it. We know addr is zero otherwise because
           we'd've given an error earlier if it wasn't.
      
       (2) If -ENOSYS was returned by that operation, then we assume we actually
           called a driver (such as the framebuffer driver) that might want to
           invoke the operation in a lower level driver (such as matroxfb) if one
           exists, and that it found that one didn't.
      
           We translate the -ENOSYS error into -ENODEV - the error we would have
           given if the operation was not supplied in the file ops.
      
           Doing this permits us an opportunity for arch_get_unmapped_area() or
           something else to be called if we want that to happen, particularly in
           the MMU case.
